Wholemeal Candid Fruits Cake – Eggless

This cake brings back memories of dad venturing out the Annual Nilgiris Cake Show at Bangalore, India every year when we were kids, and bringing home a delicious load of these eggless delights.

This fruit/plum cake is a sweet bread loaded with candied fruits. This cake is a true show-stopper. It’s stunning, and the flavor lives up to its looks. The cake is incredibly soft and sweet, and just loaded with full of nuts and candied fruits with a ting of cinnamon, nutmeg flavour.
